Blogger in Draft Bug Fixes for June 6th

Today we have a couple of new features (more on those later in the day) and some bug fixes. We’ve also published Blog List, so it’s now available to everyone on the main Blogger site.

Here are the highlights:

• The Google Gadget page element configuration has been greatly improved. We’ve fixed a number of cosmetic and functionality issues in this area. Try it out with the new unified Gadget and Page Element directory.
• Adding feed URLs to a Blog List directly now works reliably for all supported feed types.
• Adding a blog with no detected feed to a Blog List now triggers a warning dialog and icon.

Everything working ok for you? Let us know in the comments.

Blogger in Draft Bug Fixes for May 9th

We’ve made a handful of fixes to improve Blog List:

• A “See All” link when you’ve truncated the list
  
• Icon loading is deferred for better page responsiveness
• Post title now links to post’s permalink
• Newly-added blogs are highlighted on the configuration page
  
• More reliable adding and removing of blogs, and better feed and title detection
  

If you’ve customized the Blog List widget template at all via Edit HTML, you will need to reset the template to get some of these new features.

We’ve also made some visual and reliability fixes to the new Gadgets directory, particularly around adding custom gadgets.

Note: we’re looking into reports of bX-e441ek errors for some people who have added Blog List to their blogs. We hope to have a fix out for this presently.
